Anemia, a condition in which an individual can feel fatigued even after a good night’s rest, tends to occur because of a lack of iron thanks to a poor diet. Most women with a heavy menstrual flow, however, can contract the condition even with a great diet. Proper diet can provide the essential iron sources, while adequate sleep can re-energize an individual. Alongside sleep and diet, natural herbs can help impede a heavy menstrual flow from exuding essential iron from the body. Thanks to Shepherd’s Purse, an astringent herb known to constrict blood vessels and reduce blood flow, women who take the herb can see a significant reduction in bleeding.

The vagina is continually self-cleansing, washing away dead cells and bacteria. But standard tampons absorb the natural fluids needed to keep the vagina clean and moist. Natural alternatives to tampons such as the sea sponge, menstrual cup, and other organic absorbents are better than chemically synthesized fibers or pads made of Dioxin.

Worn inside the vagina during menstruation, menstrual cups collect menstrual fluid rather than absorbing it like a tampon or pad. Menstrual cup can also reduce the risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS),a potential fatal illness that occurs when bacterial toxins enter the blood stream through tears of the vaginal tissue often caused by high-absorption tampons.

Vaginal bleeding can occur at any age. Stress, birth control pills, endometriosis, prescription drugs, abuse of recreational drugs, or uterine fibroids can all lead to hormonal irregularities which can cause bleeding.
